Obamacare's Insurance Obligation Making More People Aware Of Medicaid Eligibility

South Carolina isn't expanding Medicaid eligibility. But enrollment has risen 16 percent nonetheless. "South Carolina officials say publicity for the Affordable Care Act and its requirement that most people get insurance will attract tens of thousands of people who are currently eligible for Medicaid but have not enrolled...South Carolina is not the only state expecting a large Medicaid enrollment jump even though its political leaders opposed expanding eligibility. Utah and Idaho each project a 14 percent increase. Again, most of that increase is expected to be children." Phil Galewitz in Kaiser Health News
